Ingredients
For the dough:
1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup melted butter
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
For the filling:
2 cups diced peaches (fresh, canned, or thawed frozen)
½ cup brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Optional: 1–2 tsp flour if peaches are very juicy
For the crumb topping:
4 tbsp butter, softened
⅓ cup brown sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
For the glaze:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp butter, softened
¾ cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Make the dough: Dissolve yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy. Stir in remaining sugar, butter, salt, eggs, and flour. Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Prepare filling: Mix diced peaches with brown sugar and cinnamon. If overly juicy, stir in a little flour to absorb moisture.
Roll and shape: Roll dough into a large rectangle. Spread the peach filling evenly. Roll tightly into a log and slice into 12 rolls. Place in a greased 9×13 inch pan. Let rise again for 30–60 minutes, until puffy.
Add crumble: Combine softened butter, brown sugar, and flour until crumbly. Sprinkle over risen rolls.
Bake: Bake at 350°F for 18–25 minutes, until golden and the centers register 185–190°F.
Glaze: While still warm, whisk together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Drizzle over rolls before serving.
Notes
Substitute peaches with apples, pears, or berries.
Add nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
To make vegan: use plant-based butter and cream cheese, and a dairy-free milk alternative.
A pinch of nutmeg or cardamom adds depth to the filling.
Avoid soggy rolls by tossing juicy peaches with flour.
